and from then on, it was never the same...

 

Death upon wooden mockery,

crimson Savior bathing in love.

Instilling hope and new tomorrows

in those who were given neither.

 

[I have decided to follow Jesus,

 no turning back, no turning back]

 

Empires making statements

using a man with nail-scarred hands,

[Father will you come]

 

Raining of His Father's business

upon The Lion and The Lamb,

spilling innocent blood on

less than innocent hands.

 

Departing from inhumanity's playground,

rigor mortis lays quiet, as a rock

plays bodyguard.

 

Awaiting for the third day to arrive,

for wounds to heal and for the dead to rise.

[You can say I'm dead, but you're just missing

 out on what it feels like to be alive]

    Beautiful

    My favorite verse is the very first one. It is simply awesome in it's simplicity, yet powerful in it's statement:
    Death upon wooden mockery,

    crimson Savior bathing in love.

    Instilling hope and new tomorrows

    in those who were given neither

    I love the way that verse brings to mind the sacrifice made so that we might have hope and peace when without him we had nothing.

    I also loved the last line" You can say I'm dead but you're just missing out on what it feels like to be alive"

    This is a beautiful piece. Thank you for sharing it.

    No turning back.

    This is exactly how I felt when I excepted Christ as my savior and wow your poem is really good anyway. There is no turning back his love lasts forever even if we reject it. Good write your a good writer!

      thank you.

      and yeah, it is amazing to think that even when we do things that displease Him, He still loves us and accepts us.
